Techtastic Madness

To celebrate March, the ITEC Board of Directors decided to do their own version of March Madness with an educational technology spin. The theme of this “techtastic madness” is “Google Hidden Gems.” These gems include useful things you can do with Google’s tools that not many educators know about. See below to learn more about the schedule and how to vote for your favorite hidden gem.
